Cadetship 2022.

Yes, the psychometric tests on Military.ie are the same as the intro/practice of the psychometric test given in the Cadetships. They are only to familiarize you with the tests, the real tests get more challenging but fundamentally they are the same.

For the Army and Navy the psychometric tests are on the same categories as the ones on Military.ie. The Air Corp tests are harder, harder numeracy, and they have a section on navigational awareness.

For the interview the topics are as follows:

Planning & Organizing, Resilience, Leadership, Working with Others, Motivation, Decision Making

I would recommend, writing out examples for each of those 6 competencies. Give examples of when you have used these skills in your life. Getting across that you are a well rounded person etc.

The Interview is formal. I was sat across from 4 officers from Lt. - Commander. and a civilian from the Dept. of Defence. They were very friendly, willing to conversate. They just want to help get an understanding of you as a person and they will as questions on one competency each.

For example, they will ask "Give me an example of when you had to Motivate yourself or others". They will give you a chance to talk about your personal experiences and supplement that with follow up questions.

I did a Navy and Army Interview. Was **** it for both of them. I got offered the Navy Cadetship, rejected by the Army. Was probably more prepared for the Navy one tbf. You just need to practice talking points so that when you are under pressure with the 5 officers looking at you that you don't freeze and you have something to talk about and show you have a well rounded character.

While having a computer science degree will help your odds ,you will join as an army line cadet and upon completion of the cadetship will have the option to apply for CIS as your unit of choice.

As for fitness,focus on your running with weights,you'll get built up over the course of the cadetship but endurance running will be your bread and butter. Standard PT weight is 16kg plus helmet and rifle but you'll be built up to this

Any idea on how best to prep for the Air Corp tests? Especially numeracy?

Good luck to everyone applying. I won't be going this year myself.

Strange that there is no Air Corps competition this time around. Especially with Seán Clancy as Chief of Staff and seems like there's an article in the news every week now about the need for an improved Air Corps.

Maybe they will hold one later, but if memory serves, all 3 competitions are typically announced at once.

Interesting. Do you know what these changes are?

Good luck to everyone who will be in

Where are they online? Any idea when the AC Cadetship will open?

In person

Here is the timeline.

Anyone hear anything?

What is the dress code to a fitness test/group exercise day, given you'll be there for over 9 hours?

Also, do we know how many applied this year to the different branches?

Has anyone heard anything since Stage 2?

Anyone have any idea when offers will be sent out ?

Nothing on my end. Has anyone else heard anything?

Do you think 1st round offers have gone out already like previous years? This thread is more quiet than previous years so no idea if offers have gone or not.
